Pay the correct fee.

  • The fee for meters is $1 per 45 minutes (coins only).
  • Parking is free at meters on weekends and from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., weekdays.

Never park at a broken meter.

Treat a broken meter as if it were a "no parking" sign. Never park at a meter that:

  • Flashes “failed” or other error message
  • Has a coin jam
  • Appears broken

Park front-end first in metered spaces.

Avoid the risk of backing into and damaging the meter and your vehicle.
